American Jewish leaders
will start discussions this
week seeking solutions to
the dropout problem.

Midland Schools
Keep :Merchant'

William Shakespeare's
"The Merchant of Venice"
will remain part of the re-
quired curriculum for
English students in Mid-
land, Mich. schools, accord-
ing to a recent decision by
the Midland Board of Edu-
cation.
Teaching of the play,
which contains decidedly
anti-Semitic overtones, was
originally protested by the
parents of a Jewish high
school student. Although
the parents only wished
that an explanation of the
play's anti-Semitic content
be given before it was read
by students, a citizen review
committee recommended
that the play be dropped
from the curriculum.
The school board con-
cluded that there was no
"evidence of systematic neg-
ligence" in the way the play
had been introduced to Mid-
land students.

U.S. Jewish Leaders Urged
to Cool Criticism of Israel

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Leon Dulzin, chairman of
the World Zionist Organiza-
tion and the Jewish Agency
Executives, appealed to
American Jewish leaders
"not to take sides" in Israeli
politics and to impose on
themselves "a self disci-
pline" when they make pub-
lic comments on issues that
divide Israeli society.
Dulzin said, American
Jewish leaders should sup-
port the basic consensus in
Israel and contribute, by
doing so, to unity in Israel.
Turning to the issues of
"dropouts" — Soviet Jews
who use Israeli exit visas
but settle elsewhere once
out of the Soviet Union
mainly in the United States
— Dulzin warned that the
growing number of dropouts
could endanger the future of
the Jewish Soviet emigra-
tion.
He pointed out tha' t the
Soviet authorities issue
exit visas now only to
those applicants who
have affidavits from
"first rate" relatives in
Israel, the dropouts (who
